Paradigm Accounting
Q: Can I easily see the products in each warehouse and transfer between them?
A: Yes, very easily! Simply select Inventory Transfer from the Main Menu. Here you can see a list of all your warehouses with their respective products. To transfer inventory, select the product you want to move, specify the quantity and destination, and press Transfer!
Q: Can I enter multiple jobs for each Customer?
A: Yes. In Paradigm you can keep separate track of all your jobs and assign each one to it's own customer if you like! You can record lots of job information - from proposal information, to meeting log, and job timing.
Q: How does Paradigm handle foreign exchange?
A: In Paradigm you are able to make a list of all the countries you deal with in your business, and set the exchange value of their dollar to yours. At the time of purchase or sale, you simply select the country of exchange and the amounts are automatically adjusted!
Q: Am I able to block accounting information from the employees that do not work in that department?
A: Yes. Paradigm assigns powerful, easy-to-use security options to each user. Permissions can be set separately for adding, editing, deleting, or printing from any Main Menu Item, or the item can be totally hidden. Users each have a personal password to keep the login secure.
Q: Is it possible to make changes to the contents of an assembly each time I enter it into an invoice?
A: Yes. In our latest version of Paradigm you can custom build the assembly directly from the order or invoice you are creating. This allows you to add or remove items from the assembly and change quantities, costs, and prices - all for a particular order or invoice. This assembly can be posted and the inventory will be adjusted accordingly. You can also track the time that went into this item and print out a bill of materials, showing the cost and price of the assembly.
